Fun Wedding Favor Ideas

Are you gifting favors at your wedding? This is a wedding tradition that dates back many years as a little way to say “thank you” to your guests for celebrating with you. Check out some favor ideas below!

Edible Wedding Favors

Who doesn’t love food? Especially after a night of dancing and partying. Send your guests home with a yummy treat! Here are some edible favor ideas:

Candy Bar- Set up a fun candy bar with your favorite candies and little take home boxes or bags for guests to fill up before they hit the road!

Cookie Bar- Pre order some custom cookies for your special day, or have your family and friends make their best baked goods!

Donut Bar- Okay we have all seen it, and some times I don’t love trends but…. who the heck doesn’t want a donut?!

One of My Favorites- These yummy stroopwafels from our friends at Gourmet Wedding Gifts. They are completely customizable, delicious and adorable! Trust me- I have had them and they are SO good! They even let you try before you buy!

Something Homemade- Does your family make syrup, hot sauce, or jelly? If so, jar some of that deliciousness up and gift it to your guests!

Mini Bottles of Champagne or your Favorite Booze- keep the party going by giving your guests a beverage for the after party! You can even have them customized with personalized labels!

Late Night Snack- Have your caterer come out towards the end of the night with some sliders, fries or other yummy snacks- trust me your guests will think you are the coolest and will be forever thankful.

Coffee Grounds- Give everyone a bag of your favorite flavored coffee grounds! Now this is something just about everyone will use!

Magnets

I am not a huge fan of gifting someone something that will get thrown away but, I firmly believe everyone can use a good magnet for their fridge. Get some cute custom magnets with either a picture of your venue, or a cute saying and guests will use them for a life time- maybe skip the picture of you and your new spouse though because as much as they love you, they might not want to look at you every day- unless you are Ryan Reynolds- then send that magnet my way please.

Personalized Glasses

Although I don’t love personalize keepsakes, this is a useful one that will have people remembering your special day every time they cozy up with a glass of wine or a beer!

Photo Booth

Having a photo booth and providing your guests with photo strips to take home is a super fun “favor” that everyone will enjoy!

Donation to a Charity or Multiple Charities

This is becoming a more common favor as time goes on. Instead of spending money of favors guests are making a donation to a charity. There are a couple of fun ways to do this:

Choose a charity that means something special to you and your partner. Leave a little card on everyone’s place setting letting them know that in lieu of favors you have chose to make a donation to said charity.

Gift everyone with a token, or wine cork with a note informing them to place their token or wine cork in a jar of a charity they want you to donate to. Each token or wine cork can represent a dollar or whatever amount you choose. You then can have a table with jars for numerous charities and let people select where they want you to make the donation!
